Title: Igniting Darkness (Courting Darkness Bk. 2)
Author: Robin LaFevers
Publisher: HMN Books for Young Readers
Description:
When you count Death as a friend, who can stand as your enemy?
Sybella, novitiate of the convent of Saint Mortain and Death’s vengeance on earth, is still reeling from her God’s own passing, and along with him a guiding hand in her bloody work. But with her sisters on the run from their evil brother and under the watchful eye of her one true friend (and love) at court, the soldier known as Beast, Sybella stands alone as the Duchess of Brittany’s protector.
After months of seeking her out, Sybella has finally made contact with a fellow novitiate of the convent, Genevieve, a mole in the French court. But when Genevieve mistakenly draws the attention of the French king to the convent of Saint Mortain and its deadly arts, she may do her sisters (and herself) more harm than good. Sybella, having already drawn the ire of the French regent, may not be able to depend on her sister and ally as much as she hoped. Still, Death always finds a way, even if it’s not what one expects.
My Thoughts:
This is the final book in the Courting Darkness series, which connects to LaFever’s His Fair Assassin series. This is a series I haven’t spoken enough about on the blog because I read the rest of the books before starting Nicole’s Nook. If you like romantasy, I can’t recommend it enough. It has some of the best heroes and heroines I have ever read. Courting Darkness was a spin-off series set in the same world. Igniting Darkness pulls both series together in a satisfying ending that is filled with romance, action and flawed but lovable characters. Even though the books focus on different character’s stories, the books must be read in order to make sense.
